Description

The Unattended Unfold command unfolds a sheet metal object.

If the parent body of a selected planar face has been subject to unfolding before, this tool will skip the menu in the task panel. Otherwise it will show an error message asking for either "set a Manual K-factor" or "use a Material Definition Sheet".

With the first use of the Unfold command the parent body's label received a suffix (such as _material_0.5din) and after that it is ready to be use with this tool.

Usage

Select one planar face of a sheet metal part.
Activate the UnattendedUnfold command using one of the following:
- The Unattended Unfold button.
- The SheetMetal → Unattended Unfold menu option.
- The keyboard shortcut: U
